MIAC has established itself as the reference event for paper mill technicians and tissue converters, offering a unique platform to discover cutting-edge technologies and connect with the sector’s most qualified suppliers. This year’s edition promises to be particularly dynamic, with 250 exhibiting companies showcasing their latest machinery, systems, and equipment for paper and paperboard production, as well as tissue paper converting solutions.

Beyond the exhibition stands, attendees can participate in technical conferences that address the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the paper and tissue sectors today. These sessions provide invaluable insights into market trends, technological advancements, and operational best practices.
Beside the show itself, many companies entertain their clients and partners with social events like open houses and dinners, like ST Macchine who invited this year guests from Argentina, South Africa, China and Australia to their traditional party for a true Italian cuisine experience.
For many industry professionals, MIAC represents more than just a trade show—it’s an annual pilgrimage to Lucca where business relationships are strengthened, new partnerships are forged, and the future of the paper industry takes shape.
Whether you’re seeking to update your technical knowledge, evaluate new equipment suppliers, or explore emerging market opportunities, MIAC 2025 offers three intensive days of professional development and commercial exchange.
